Upcoming Vegan Market In Playa Del Carmen

Vegan Festivals and Markets have gained a lot of popularity in Riviera Maya over the past few years. The interest is not only focused on food but also on hygiene products, beauty supplies, and clothing. It all started with animal rights activists and animal shelters. Soon it became important for residents and travelers to have healthy options for their lifestyles. Vegan Markets are scheduled at least 3 times during the year and Vegan festivals at least twice a year. Merida is also part of the vegan movement, with their own vegan restaurants and fairs. Along with the food options, there is also the increasing need to prevent the use of disposable products. The government is currently revising a couple of interesting laws that benefit sustainable tourism in the area. The Vegan markets in Playa del Carmen, Cancun and Merida have definitely made a difference in the Yucatan peninsula.

Not Just For Vegans

Despite the common idea, vegan events, in general, are not just for vegan people. If anything, they are focused on bringing to non-vegans the option of learning more about this lifestyle. It is actually a welcoming ambiance surrounded by nonjudgmental visitors. Most of them feel curious and attracted by the food options. Others are interested in the conferences and information is provided. And the rest, well we just love making new friends and embracing the diversity that these type of events offer. It is true that all food and products are vegan, but the main reason is to deliver information and breaking the stereotypes. What you can find at the Vegan Market in Playa del Carmen is; lots of food (mostly Mexican), but also Argentinian, Italian and even French. Of course in its vegan version. Beauty and hygiene products. Second-hand clothing and accessories. Kid-friendly activities, live music, and conferences. And of course lots of friendly people and dogs.
